In an effort to make the administration of externally-funded projects more seamless, the WVU Office of Sponsored Programs has launched three new smart forms for researchers to utilize. Those three forms are for prioritization, status check and prior approval.
Research
WVU Libraries has a three-year partnership with the Public Library of Science to provide researchers with the opportunity to publish, free of processing charges, in any of their Open Access titles.
The WVU Research Office has launched a new website to provide updates on the new Research Portal Initiative. You will find information about the project status, timeline and scope on the site and can also submit questions.
With back-to-school season in full swing, parents might want to think twice about posting “first day of class” photos of their youngsters on social media, based on WVU research. While the posting of children’s photos — also known as “sharenting” — may seem like a fun and easy way to share, studies by Laurel Cook, a social marketing and public policy researcher, show that sharing such information poses significant risks.
Attend a WVU Libraries online citation manager workshop to learn how to use tools to organize, format and share citations.
